NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: I can’t defend the executives, the top executives, and I can’t necessarily even defend the board, but I can defend the product. There is a reason that we are the only news organization, other than Fox, with a growing audience. It is because of our product which is straight-shooting, factual, and spends an enormous amount of money gathering news from all over the country and the world. Judge us by our product. The people in the newsroom were probably more mortified than Charles or anybody in the Tea Party, or any, any anybody else. I mean, we were just horrified, and not by the political incorrectness of what he said, but by the fact that he even thought this way.

Mortified! Horrified!

Oh Nina, you're so clueless. That's okay, we'll help you.

Remember this "mean-spirited attack on people who think differently" brought to you by the straight-shooting, fact-obsessed folks at NPR?

Straight-shooting and factual.™

(By the way, NPR was forced to admit that their bigoted cartoon product was "mean-spirited" "name calling" but they loved the video so much that they kept it up anyway.)

The controversy over NPR's "Learn to Speak Tea Bag" cartoon was only mentioned by a few obscure media outlets (e.g., The Washington Post, Fox News, The Washington Examiner, and NPR) so we can forgive Totenberg for being blindsided by reports of effete NPR executives who think that Americans are stupid, gun-toting racists and that the GOP has been infiltrated by scary white evangelical mutant ninja turtles.

Byro. also forgets that most southern klansmen were...Democrats (initially at least). The GOP-- hardly perfect--is the party of Abe Lincoln. Then why bother with the facts of US History, when yr an ex. acid-head turned mormon, as is Bubba Bellamy? (not to say...theatre queer, steroids popper, flunky, mental patient, most likely roofie-rapist).

"When compiling sharp conservative thoughts and takes for my Morning Jolt newsletter late at night and early in the morning, I find myself coming back to Left Coast Rebel again and again." -Jim Geraghty, National Review"Hey Tim, I appreciate the kind email and the plug on your site. It’s rare that my first feedback isn’t hate mail from a disgruntled statist! You carry on too – we’ve got our work cut out for us." -Tad DeHaven, Cato Institute"Thanks so much for all YOU do for liberty and individual rights. I appreciate your strong voice for capitalism. We're changing the culture -- keep it up!" -Jonathan Hoenig, Fox News"Congrats Tim. You have arrived." -GatewayPundit"Before we sell California to China or go Lex Luther on the San Andreas Fault, let's be sure to save the Left Coast Rebel." -Barack Obama's Cousin, Milton R. Wolf, M.D.

"I like LCR because it seems like more thought goes into posts there than at many other blogs that focus more on horse-race politics." -Nate Nelson, United Liberty
